Chronic Disease: A Silent Crisis

The rise of chronic diseases in America poses a staggering public health crisis, with annual deaths reaching between 1.7 to 1.9 million, surpassing the total casualties of all wars in U.S. history. This crisis remains largely unaddressed in public discourse. Prominent figures, including advocates and medical professionals, are now seeking to create a bipartisan initiative to address these alarming statistics by re-evaluating the current healthcare system, which often prioritizes symptom treatment over genuine healing. The momentum for change is building, highlighted by testimonies before the Senate aimed at fostering a new approach to combating chronic disease.
